In an interview back in November, Beyonce expressed her concerns with the difficulties of trying to keep her pregnancy a secret as her and her husband Jay-Z like to be private. "The whole time I definitely was thinking, 'Everyone knows, everyone can see,'" the singer told to The Associated Press, before the screening of her new concert DVD.

She goes on to talk about how difficult it was to perform as her body was changing, and she was performing every night. "When you're pregnant, it's a little bit harder to breathe, so it was hard doing all the choreography and singing at the same time," she said.
